Katchoo sees Emma in a place that looks like Hawaii, and asks if this is heaven. "Sort of. You can see it from here," Emma replies. Katchoo doesn't want to go back. Emma tells "Chewie" she must go back, her whole life is in front of her. It's a gift from God. "I'll be here when you come back," she promises. She turns in her hospital bed and sees Francine there waiting for her. Katchoo takes her hand, and Francine sheds quiet tears of happiness.
Katchoo has made a rapid recovery from her bullet wound. Detective Walsh stops by, says anyone brave enough to walk in there with a wire he considers a partner, Samantha Weis was pronounced dead at the scene. Bambi Baker is recovering a couple floors above them, when she's ready she will be indicted for the murder of Wayne Digman. Darcy Parker herself is rich enough to wiggle out of any trouble she might be in. Katchoo mentions that Bambi has a twin sister Tambi, and she thought she saw her recently, but Walsh says Tambi has been in California with alibis and witnesses.
Walsh gives Katchoo her FBI file, he had a buddy pull her file out and purge her from the computer. Katchoo is free and clear, but Walsh says he thinks Katchoo has more than a gunshot wound to recover from. He wishes her luck.
Freddy runs into a pal who once dated Francine. He talks about what a wild girl she was, and how great the sex was. This gets Freddy thinking about her again, and in fact this turns into an obsession. He starts leaving messages on Francine's machine, but Francine rejects this emphatically. She walks away saying "No! No! No!" to herself with each step.
Francine brings Katchoo's clothes to the hospital and is ready to take her home. She says the state is paying for the operation, it was arranged by Detective Walsh. Then David pokes his head in the room too. There is ice in Katchoo's glare, as well as Francine's glare, and David can feel it. He says he's going back to New York and wanted to make sure they were okay. He has a small gift, but Katchoo doesn't take it. He leaves it on the bed. He's sorry how things worked out, and he sees that he hurt both of them.
Katchoo says "Tell your sister to give you a raise. You did a great job. You had me fooled." David replies that he doesn't work for Darcy, he's just an art student who came to Houston because Darcy asked her to do a favor. He doesn't care what's going on between her and Darcy, and he doesn't care about the money, he lost the best friend he ever had and no amount of money is worth that. Then he leaves.
Katchoo opens the gift. It's a picture of the same house where Katchoo lived with Emma in Hawaii. Darcy gave it to David in return for staying with Katchoo and Francine, and now he has given it to Katchoo. Francine asks Katchoo if she wants to recuperate in Hawaii. Katchoo says it's a great idea but she needs to stop in Zurich first. Francine realizes that Katchoo had the money all along and put it in Samantha's name to frame her. Katchoo says Samantha was embezzling millions of dollars of Darcy's money, and it was only a matter of time until the storm hit, so she hid her own money in the eye of the hurricane.
Francine wonders aloud what will happen if the mob finds out. Katchoo tells her to relax, it's a dead account, nobody knows about it and nobody cares what two girls from Houston do. They ride away in a taxi, watched by the statuesque figure of Tambi Baker.
